Climate Change Ecology

• Impacts of multiple environmental stressors on organisms: How multiple climate variables jointly alter species performance and interactions?

• Integrating biological responses to temperature warming across levels of biological organization: How can we scale up from changes in individuals’ traits and species interactions to predict population dynamics and community structure?

• Effects of environmental variations and extremes on biological responses: Are variations and extremes critical for determining species performance and fitness consequences besides means?

• Novel interactions and trophic mismatches: How climate-driven phenological/geographical shifts and the resulting temporal/spatial synchrony/asynchrony affect population dynamics of interacting species?

• The role of phenotypic plasticity in buffering short-term and long-term environmental change: Will short-term acclimation facilitate or impede long-term adaptation?
